What Sunscreen do Doctors recommend most?
Today’s discussion on “What is the most recommended sunscreen” was sponsored by Blue Lizard, an American sunscreen producer.
This is my handsome son playing outside when he was little. PS. There was no water in the bucket!
What is the Most Recommended Sunscreen by Pediatricians and Dermatologists?
When my kids were little, sunscreen producers only JUST started coming out with sunscreen for babies and kids. SPF levels weren’t very high, if noted at all. We usually put a big shirt on the kids, waited until after the sun went down in the sky a little and hoped for the best as far as sunburns.
Today is a whole new ballgame. There are so many sunscreen formulations, it’s hard to sort it all out. Which one should you choose? Why not pick the sunscreen that doctors prefer?
What is the most recommended sunscreen by pediatricians and dermatologists? Blue Lizard is the brand most recommended by pediatricians and dermatologists. Why? Because their products are not only effective, but their Baby and Sensitive formulas are as safe as a sunscreen formula can be.
The weather in Michigan today was super cloudy. One thing I always wondered about, for myself as a super pale individual or for my children, is do I need to apply sunscreen today?
Blue Lizard answers that question for me by providing the answer right on their bottle. Their patented BPA-free Smart Bottle™ changes colors in the presence of harmful UV rays, reminding you to cover up. Even on this cloudy overcast Michigan day, indications were that sunscreen needed to be applied, all I had to do was look at the bottle!
In the 3 oz. size the lid changes color and in the 5 oz. size the bottle changes color. Isn’t that cool? Even a little child would know just by looking at the bottle that they should be applying their sunscreen. How great would this be for kids going to camp?
Here’s just a few reason why Blue Lizard is recommended by Doctors:
- Blue Lizard is American made (YAH!), but was originally created in Australia where sunscreen standards are the strictest in the world.
- Blue Lizard has five sunscreen formulas available: Baby, Sensitive, Face, Sport & Regular – All are broad spectrum UVA/UVB coverage (SPF 30+)
- Baby & Sensitive Formulas are paraben-free, chemical-free and fragrance-free; Face is also oil-free and all formulations are mineral-based containing Zinc Oxide. (Yeah for fragrance-free you know how much I hate smelly things!) Face is also non-comedogenic, which means it does not block pores!
- Sport & Regular are extremely water resistant. These formulas meet Australian standards of staying on in 240 minutes of whirlpool water.

I would like the BLUE LIZARD AUSTRALIAN SUNSCREEN BABY for my kids.
I would love to try the baby sunscreen on my little one- We use a product we like, but it’s a bit on the greasy side. Time to try something new.
I’d love to try the Blue Lizard Australian® Sunscreen Sport 3.0 oz.
I want the BLUE LIZARD AUSTRALIAN SUNSCREEN SENSITIVE because my skin is sensitive and I bet this works awesome!
I’d like to win the Blue Lizard Australian Sunscreen Regular Gallon so I don’t run out over the summer. 😉
BLUE LIZARD AUSTRALIAN SUNSCREEN BABY 8.75 OZ BOTTLE. Need to protect my boys skin.
I’m torn between the baby and sensitive one. Either way, I like that this stuff isn’t supposed to clog your pores and I can use all the sunscreen I can outside right now because I’m pregnant and turn into a vampire! lol
I would love to win the baby line of sunscreen
I love that there are specific offerings for sports and the face.
The Blue Lizard 50+ regular for the hubby. He’s had several skin cancers removed already and he goes through sunscreen like there is no tomorrow.
I’d like to win the baby sunscreen so I can protect my baby’s delicate skin from the sun. We love to go walking every day and now that it’s warmer, we’ll be spending time in the baby pool in the backyard and I want to make sure my baby is protected from the sun and kept safe from unwanted chemicals!
I would like the BLUE LIZARD AUSTRALIAN SUNSCREEN FACE 3 OZ TUBE because my family could use a good face sunscreen.
I would like the baby sunscreen because the whole family uses it. We have sensitive skin and find that products made for babies work better for us
I would like to try the Blue Lizard Australian® Sunscreen Sport 5.0 because I plan to be very active this summer with my sister – completing outdoor workouts and going swimming a lot!
I’d love the 3 oz tube of sensitive sunscreen.
I want to try the On Blue Lizard Australian Sunscreen Sensitive 8.75 oz Bottle. I hear this is a great product. No chemical burn for sensitive skin.
Definitely the one for sensitive skin because I have sensitive skin.
I’d like to win one of the face sunscreens. I always burn so easily!
LOVE Blue Lizard – they are this melanoma survivor’s go-to sunscreen now and I love their Face formula and would love to have more!
I’d love to try their sunscreen for sensitive skin. I put on my SPF lotion this morning on my arms and almost immediately had a reaction! It felt like my arms were suddenly sunburned. Maybe their sensitive sunscreen is what I need to try.
